Monument on Newfoundland?

Dear reader, can you tell me if there is a monument on New Foundland to remember all the sailors of the merchant navy who lost their lives in worldwar two? A few years ago I read in a Dutch paper that such a monument should be built. Perhaps you have a photo and articles from newspapers. My father lost his life in the war. He was a member of the crew of the Dutch liner Simon. The ship was strucked by two german mines about 25 miles east of Harwich (England ). I hope you are able to help me. It means a lot for me. Send me an email if you know any information: ruygh@planet.nl
